I've gained 60 pounds in the last three years and I'm very depressed about it. I used to be 110 pounds and healthy and I loved how skinny I was. I was a size 3 and now I'm a size 12. I tried going to a weight counselor but she was terrible and I signed up for a weight webinar but I got too depressed to want to go.

I don't know what to do. All day I've been thinking about making myself throw up and I know it's not healthy but what else am I going to do? How am I going to lose all this weight?

I am so out of shape that not even five minutes into an uphill hike got me so winded. I'm broke so I'm limited as to what I can buy to help me lose weight. I feel so terrible about my weight that I feel ashamed to wear even a one-piece bathing suit. And none of my clothes are flattering on me and most don't even fit right.

What am I supposed to do?
